Could we maybe not play hide and seek with the xtypes?

tbspacer, tbtext

These are valid xtypes, and you can't find them in architect. You have to know to remove any search criteria an scroll down to the toolbar section (which is not one of the groups on the left side btw) to find them.

The whole point of architect was to make it easier right? Hiding things so you can't find them by xtype doesn't help.

But only if you know to search for that. The docs list the xtype as tbspacer, and searching for that gets you nothing. Previous forum posts mention tbspacer, NOT spacer. Since xtypes are a common thing, you would think you cloud type the xtype (which should be unique) and get the component. It doesn't have to be the ONLY way to find it, but it should be A way to find it.One of my biggest gripes about sencha is you are expected to read the developers mind to do things.

The docs say do X.

Oh but that X isn't the way to do it anymore, it's really Y.

Well why don't the docs say Y?

We haven't updated them yet, you just need to know that.

Same thing with NOT looking things up by xtype, somehow the users (who don't share a water cooler with you) are supposed to know xtypes are no longer a lookup mechanism.
